Am I the only one who isn't going to watch the winter Olympics because of the country staging it? I quite like winter sports, and each January there is a generous amount of it to watch on the telly here. I thought the competition in China would be worth watching and I intended to, but I cannot get out of my head what is going on in the country by way of human rights violations. A brilliant façade will be presented to the world, no expense spared and well organised no doubt, but this is in a country will precious little personal freedom.
I would like to keep sports and politics separate, but I am not sure this is possible in this case.
